Authority Is what we crave for ?

"I want to be the most powerful man/woman on earth"

Except immortal Souls and Barrack Obama who doesn't share this dream ! this is what we aim for when we watch Super heroes and also at a later stage, Suddenly we grow older we become less sheepish and then realize that we should have been born in USA to be eligible, now the maximum we can hope for is be the most powerful person in India but 99.9% of us are not born into political families thus it is again ruled out and finally at least in the organization ? much more realistic needs lesser effort ! EUREKA we could finally be what we want and that is necessary that means i can wield power and control people and do whatever i want put all the travel bills in company names. Recently i was interacting with one of my friends (An aspiring journalist
) who explained a bizarre situation

"Boss on the other day on NDTV i saw Prannoy Roy reporting and not hosting a show"
to which i said he is a Journalist who can handle all facets of reporting to which he replied "But if he wanted to report he could have just remained a journalist why did he have to start NDTV and create so many things. If he has started these things then he should not be a reporter" i was amazed i believed people create something by choice and they love it but this statement took me off guard

if authority is what we crave for then i think we should all become entrepreneurs there would be no love to what we do

and there outlays the change which we need to initiate. Make people happy and proud about what they do. One of my favorite books on Human relations and employee motivation has to be the "Great Game of Business" by Jack Stack and he motivated all his employees by a single tactic. His organization was into re-manufacturing and auto components and he made them proud by creating open days where families came and realized the work done by them which created a pride in them.

But ultimately the winning and authoritative desire is needed if we need to have entrepreneurs
